to be somewhat annoyed that DH keeps using clothes to mop up spillages?

[Pavlovthecat]

For example - this evening DD got her nightclothes wet 'washing up' just water, nothing else. I took them off her and hung them over the chair. Put other clothes on her.

DH spills some juice over the sofa. Goes out, comes back in with her nightclothes and proceeds to mop up the spillage with it! .

I told him not to, and he said 'why not? It is dirty anyway, I will put it in the washing bin after.

Well it is not ok because

1. It was not dirty, I washed it this morning with the other million clothes which were not dirty before you used them as a rag
2. It is not a rag
3. It is lazy not to use a rag/cloth like normal peaple
4. It means her clothes get tatty. Now I know why!

He does it all the time. Not just DDs, but will use his t-shirts, jumpers etc if they are close by. It annoys me enough when it is a t-towel, but I can accept that sloven behaviour, but to use clothes?

Please tell me IANBU?

Exactly Flum - if he had washed them this morning, hung them out on the line, put them on DD, took them off DD after he let her wash up in them before bedtime, then he could have used them without a moan (well to be fair, less of a moan) but he did not. Thanks for your vote

more god no would not actually tell him he had support from a single MNer....nooooo!

my DH does this too!! it s usually somethin he picked up from in a pile of clothes ready to be taken up to the drawers to be put away aswell!! he uses the excuse 'it was close to hand and what is it doing there anyway??' well its not there as a nice pile of mops for when he spills somethin thats for sure!! that will teach me to sit down after ploughing through the washing eh?!
blardy men!!

but is he 35 Queeny? Because if he is, it is perfectly acceptable and allowed.

I do this. Preferably some thing dirty, then straight in the machine. But if theres a crying t shirt/nighty I will grab it and use it. Nearer thing usually.
therefore yabu

I do it - but only clothes actually IN the kitchen washbin, and no scrubbing

nope hes 24 is it still ok? hes almost 25 though so hes getting nearer to the magical age
